Manchester United 's off-field changes are continuing over the close-season with Mike Phelan not serving as a first-team coach under new boss Erik ten Hag.
Ten Hag’s assistant coach, Mitchell van der Gaag, and long-term confidant Steve McClaren have joined the Dutchman in his new-look team. Elsewhere, goalkeeping coach Richard Hartis and set-piece specialist Eric Ramsay have been retained, despite interest from Barnsley in appointing the latter as their new boss.
Ralf Rangnick, who was initially supposed to stay on in a consultancy role over the next two seasons, has departed Old Trafford while the German’s coaches - including Chris Armas, Ewan Sharp and Sascha Lense - have also exited. That followed on from Michael Carrick’s departure after his three-game caretaker stint last season and coach Kieran McKenna's exit to become Ipswich Town boss.
